Parking

I exited Pennsylvania's southwestern corner near the tiny hamlet of Deep Valley, and drove "straight" across West Virginia's northern panhandle, less than 30 miles from border to border. The best hour of the day's drive:

And back up to the next ridge; repeat.

Every picture today brought to you from the driver's seat (edit: except the strip club).
